The nose opens with ripe pear, yellow apple, honeydew melon, citrus and white flowers, lifted by fresh herbs, fennel and the variety’s signature white-pepper spice.\n\nThe palate is rich and concentrated yet finely balanced, with layers of stone fruit, lively acidity and a clear mineral core. Long lees aging adds texture and depth without sacrificing freshness, giving the wine excellent aging potential and the structure to develop beautifully over the coming years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSourced from Alte Point, a prized Wachau vineyard near Mautern, the wine reflects the region’s steep terraces, stony soils and loess-rich sections that lend both power and finesse.
